re:like - Overheard Map of Now 2017
The exhibition functioned as an art version of Chinese whispers, with each artist handing over the material for the next to respond to and create from.
Two iterations of my involvement are linked below. I was given solo control over the last team's digital presence for 3 days, creating from it the first website. I was then teamed with an artist in Wales, an artist in Scotland, and an artist in England to create the second:

2. http://week3b.2017.overheardmap.com
Over a week-long residency that will take place online, artists are invited to explore the paradox of solitary connectedness, the incredible prevalence of digital personas - both consciously performed and not - and the acts of translation and duration that go into making physical work digital and vice versa.
The total exhibition, which will function as an art version of Chinese whispers, will take place over a month - with each artist handing over the material for the next to respond to and create from.
Artists will work in pairs of one digital and one physical artist, in whatever way they wish, to develop work around the theme. Each artist will be given full access to the website, and is welcome to use other forms of digital communication (Hangout, Instagram, anything) to communicate work and interact with the artists that come after them. All work will need to be open-source.
Artists are welcome to work in any medium, and we are especially interested in creative coders and artists with emphatically physical practices.

#imhere re:like Overheard Map of Nowas part of my involvement with the re:like, a digital residency with the UK-based Overheard Map of Now, I coded a webpage that scrolled through publicly available security cameras. This video features my brief appearance in front of one such camera.

Augmented Reality 3D PhotographThis is an Augmented Reality 3D Photograph. I photographed a mode in Skanect with an Xtion Live Pro, imported into Unity, assembled with ARtoolkit for Unity, then built into an Android app. The photograph was not at all sculpted, but features artefacts from the scanning process. This video also shows works by artist Melissa Cormier (melissapenleycormier.com/ )and music by Sassy Kitty (soundcloud.com/sassy-kitty-productions).

creatr_flockcreatr_flock, 2016 Jeffrey L. Gangwisch Interactive Installation. creatr_flock responds only when looked at. When creatr_flock realizes it has an audience, a growing number of polygons flock to greet the viewer(s), reacting to their movements. Creatr flock was created with support from a 2016 Technical.ly Baltimore Microgrant. It was built in Processing using Computer Vision and Box2D libraries. Though it can be exhibited many different ways, it requires a display surface, a computer (here using a mac-mini), and a camera.

labor_1This is a prototype version of a generative animation that searches for images through a procedural algorithm, masking them with the artist's body at work.

#imhere re:like Overheard Map of NowFrom November 6 to December 4 2017, the UK-based Overheard Map of Now organized international teams of artists working in either physical or digital mediums. Artists were invited to explore the paradox of solitary connectedness, the incredible prevalence of digital personas - both consciously performed and not - and the acts of translation and duration that go into making physical work digital and vice versa. The exhibition functioned as an art version of Chinese whispers, with each artist handing over the material for the next to respond to and create from. Two iterations of my involvement are linked below. I was given solo control over the last team's digital presence for 3 days, creating from it the first website. I was then teamed with an artist in Wales, an artist in Scotland, and an artist in England to create the second. Both are still viewable, though without maintenance many features no longer work: 1. http://week3.2017.overheardmap.com 2.

obj_i, 2016obj_i, 2016 Jeffrey L. Gangwisch Interactive Installation 3x Networked Holographic Cabinets 3x Networked Scopic Cabinets 1x Interactive Projection 3 self-portraits run in lap across all three holographic cabinets. If any cabinet registers a environmental sound, the self-portrait generated by that cabinet trips. A procedurally-generated horde of self-portraits run laps across the three scopic cabinets at different sizes and speeds. A large lens further distorts the figure. Again, any environmental sound trips the runners. A large projection runs through procedurally-generated scenarios. Environmental audio trips the running self-portrait(s), triggers a text warning for any viewer to be quieter, and affects many non-obvious elements of the program, such as the length of each scene. The installation is driven by 7 microphones, 6 tablets, 1 computer, 1 network router and 1 projector.
